CLIP FIOIR TYPE-WRITERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 534,504, dated February 19, 1895.

Application filed July 5, 1894- To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALLEN J. GIBSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Waco, McLennan county, Texas, have invented a Clip for Type-Writers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a clip or holder adapted to be attached to a Remington typewriter or a machine similarly constructed, to hold postal-cards, envelopes or other short sheets firmly against the roller and thus prevent the blurring or bad impression which is apt to be made, more particularly in machines having type bars with two types each, when the paper is not held firmly to the roller or platen.

The entire clip, while to some extent yielding, is sufficiently rigid to hold a stiff'card or envelope close up against the roller.

The clip can be attached to the machine at any point on the scale rod, and even after the card has been inserted.
